Southeast Texas Family Photos | Michelle
Michelle and I met this past Fall at Devin and Michael’s wedding – since then we’ve discussed getting her portraits done in celebration of her upcoming graduation with her Masters Degree from Prarie View A&M a few times. She’s a teacher in the Port Arthur School District so finally this Spring we worked out a schedule to get them done. Luckily her daughter is graduating too and we were able to get both of them in the same afternoon. π Shoes! π Beautiful weather! Perfect for taking relaxed fun portraits by the pond. Here she is, graduating soon from high school, and yes, she’s just that smart. Just that smart,…

Christmas Portraits – Southeast Texas
Whew! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity, from personal family fun with our 2 little ones to the many family Christmas photo sessions. π Here are a few of my favorites from the last few weeks – from 7 months to 96 years young, I really enjoyed being a part of your family for the holidays, even for a short period of time. π Note: If you are viewing this on our Facebook page, the images are much nicer on the actual blog post. I usually take large group photos and then break the groups down into individual families and even quick individual portraits. It gives…

Christmas Portraits – David and Elise
Last week we took our little ones downtown for some images (they actually (mostly) cooperated!) – we found a perfect green and red spot and rewarded them with hot chocolate at Rao’s afterwards… “mmmm” as Elise would say. π Note: If you are viewing this on our Facebook page, the images are much nicer on the actual blog post. Here’s a couple of our favorites – they’re not perfect, but with kids this dern cute they don’t have to be – and they have a couple grandmas that will tell you that themselves π π Those faces just make you grin no matter what. π This one made it to…

Beaumont Family Portraits – The Morris Family
Recently a friend I’ve known forever contacted me to photograph some family Christmas portraits of her large-ish family – Yay! π It’s an honor to be trusted to take anyone’s important portraits, doubly so when it’s a friend and a budding photographer like Hannah. Here are some of my favorites from the afternoon: The Brady Bunch doesn’t have anything on the Morris family with 4 beautiful daughters: We squeezed in a few portraits of mom and dad too, this is one of my favorites: And, the Piθce de rιsistance – you can’t have family Christmas portraits without Santa hats! They weren’t extremely happy to be wearing them, but were good…

Beaumont Family Portraits – The Callas Family
I was contacted recently by the Callas family here in Beaumont to photograph their family – a mutual friend (Mark Thompson – an excellent custom interiors person if you’re looking) had referred me. Their 2 beautiful daughters, as well as grandparents, and an aunt, uncle and cousins would be in attendance. Here are a few from that evening – most everything was photographed in the backyard of their beautiful home in Brownstone – first up are daddy’s little girls: A little individual daddy time π I didn’t shoot them all in black and white π , here their cousins join in for a little dip in the pool: Ray, his…

All Growed Up!
Elise turned 7 months a couple weeks ago and got her first tooth yesterday! You can’t really see it yet :p , but it’s definitely beginning to poke through those tender gums (which makes for not much sleep at night π ). Anyways, she’s also beginning to pull up to a standing position, which means mama and daddy had to lower her bed… right after the following images π I’m not biased at all, but isn’t she just the cutest baby, in maybe ever? π We’re headed to the beach this weekend and will have some pictures of David then – he’s becoming quite the grown up little boy himself…

The Sturrock Family
Nothing’s better than a toothless grin to start off a crack-a-lackin family session with the Sturrock family this past weekend: Big brother Gage and big sister Alex joined in the fun in Claiborne Park in Vidor. We moved to the 4-way see-saw and Gage practiced his surf skills. The weather was perfect for a family photo session – some clouds here and there to cool us a bit and sun peaking through the branches to give great lighting like this: and this (Luke has the remnants of eating that blue chalk in most of his photos π ): We played catch before moving on to Caldwell Park in Beaumont for…
